So my starting levels for the first fight are:

Deadly - 55

What?! My deadly starts at 220!

Update from ~24hrs later; I have played (strike that) completed each of the nodes once in both modes with the exception of one HT node I repeated in Regular and the last node in Deadly which kills me over and over (I've been going in "Naked" up to now, but next time I'm boosting until I can't walk straight).

My starting node on Dealy has increased to 62. My starting node on "Regular" has decreased to 32, so who the hell knows what's going on!?

I'm going to go earn some ISO in the Human Torch event so that I can push my Panther the last few levels to his soft cap of 89.

1 Venom

I was so busy dumping iso into panther for the PvE that i didn't even know that this was coming.

Dont' worry. I beat them all for you both. My ** DA is maxed. I really was preparing for this tournament, lol.

Haha, go get'em Otersey! I'll be right behind you with my max cover lvl 6 moonstone. Well... Maybe not right behind you

Hi all,

Can we make sure we all get in our first clears with Heroic (Deadly) please? There's a few of you that must already have maxed nodes available by now, and competition so far is quite weak throughout this tourney.

10k each would have us at a 25k lead overall, given current positions. As it is, we're sitting in 14th.

ISO payout also ?appears? to be better, with nodes paying 250/500 as before, instead of the 100s. Unsure--haven't compared but noticed I was picking up 500s in Deadly.

I'd like to, but rng hates me, so combinations of villain+goons wipe me team if not by abilities, then by CD. I'll try to make as much as possible, but with 2/0/0 Torch this event kinda sucks.

I'm pretty sure at least 1 node gave me unusual 200 ISO. And I'm not talking about "First Time Completion Reward".

qtquazar, don't panic. I opened all nodes in both modes at the beginning. Now I do 1-2 missions end of each 12 hours. I don't want any serious grind until last 4-8 hours. New scaling system scares me. I fight to the limit of my powers even now. Sorry.

This event literally sucks and with 1/1/1 HT.

I ran through the hard one last night and also got a couple 500 ISO rewards but I didn't check if it was only certain nodes

Barely pulled victory in Belova+goons - if Tommy Gun started after Threaten, then I would die, but luck was on my side. Still, lost mStorm, buoth Psylocke and HT barely alive. Oh well, time for regen.
This event really makes me grind my teeth. No proper support = horrible. And no, I refuse to lvl Bagman.

Easiest way to remove temptation of leveling bagman is just not own him. I always sold him, then I max covered him just cause I had the open slot and "someday I might need him" then d3 went on their new character every 3 days rampage so I got rid of him again

I cleared all nodes yesterday and will be going back at it soon.

To be clear: My original post wasn't asking anyone to grind this tourney, merely to complete your nodes once (yesterday, we had a lot of player sub-10k, meaning this hadn't been done).

I'm not planning on grinding either due to level creep; I'll rely on rubberbanding.


For those of you struggling with this event, here's the basic key:

1. mStorm
2. BPanther
3. HT (if required)...else whoever you have leveled highest

Storm is invaluable this tourney, as she can suck up enviro tiles. Compounding this, BP's yellow depends on total enviro tiles. Your basic goal should be to get these moves out as fast as possible. Matches aren't trivial afterwards but they do become a lot easier. If HT is in the party, you can then make a call as to whether to use Storm's green for board control, or HT's green for high damage. Avoid Inferno unless you have better than a 1/1/1 HT.

Quit showing off with your fancy 1* characters. Some of us don't have such luxuries

Also, I'd like to announce mpq and I have been going steady for 100 days now. I just noticed today's prize will be 101 for me.

I run with:

1. Wolverine
2. Hawkeye
3. Human Torch / Psylocke

With boosts you need only one green match for two +40 strike tiles. After that collect red for Adamantium Slash. Parallel collect more green for another batch of strike tiles or HT's Flame Jet, who multiplies damage with wolverine's swords. Ideally, this should be enough to kill one enemy and seriously damaged the other. For remaining enemy collect blue and stun him with Hawkeye. If you have Psylocke cast her black. If you want her red, then it's necessary to abandon Wolverine green ability, cuz his strike tiles also counted when you use Psychic Knife.
